Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2174 - 991: Formidable Foes Approaching? Delivery to the Door?
The first to engage in battle was not the First Legion, but the Second Legion led by the Second Skeleton Lord. He is currently Gaven’s core main battle legion, as he commands the largest number of troops, including two Skeleton Minotaur Lords, totaling twenty-four thousand soldiers (since this is a territorial defense battle, the number is halved when deploying outside the territory).
The Second Skeleton Lord did not employ any strategic tactics; he directly pressed the main force legion forward because they had sufficient troop type advantage.
The result was a one-sided massacre.
When the newly minted over twenty thousand Four-armed Slaughter Skeleton Soldiers swung their weapons, all that could be seen were the ghastly white shadows of bone blades.
With just one charge, the wild Skeleton Soldiers at the forefront fell like wheat in large swathes.
A large number of soul fires danced back and forth in the air, like ghostly flames. The scene was terrifying, yet the Skeleton Soldiers were unfazed; they silently wielded their weapons—slaughter, slaughter, and more slaughter.
In the minds of these undead, only hatred remained, and they fit perfectly with the Slaughter Clergy, granting them an even more vigorous desire to attack.
The dispersed soul fires did not linger long before being absorbed by the Skeletal Earth beneath their feet, flowing like a tide into the nearby Soul Pool, which was then siphoned off by Gaven through the pathways.
He now had to make two preparations: if necessary, he would sacrifice gained turf, temporarily abandoning these protruding territories.
As long as he possessed the Slaughter Divinity Power and a sufficient supply of soul fire, even losing a few Soul Pools would not impact him greatly.
Eliminating the offensive living forces of the undead and regrouping is a matter of moments, and he could even strike to seize more Soul Pools.
"Locate the position of the low-level lords, send in the Skeleton Minotaur First Corps, crush them." Sensing the main Four-armed Slaughter Skeleton force being obstructed, the Skeleton Lord at the center command sent in his assault main force without hesitation.
Moo!
A roar of soul erupted.
The earth began to tremble, and hundreds of colossal entities charged forward.
The physique of the Skeleton Minotaurs was already astonishing, suitable for confronting the Skeleton Cavalry head-on.
Having undergone a second evolution, the Super Skeleton Minotaurs were even more savage. Their height surged from 3.4 meters to 4.6 meters, with their lower body transforming into an incredibly robust bull form, clad in heavy Bone Armor, especially around the abdomen, which was not only thick but also featured short, thickly protruding bone structures, resembling polished bull horns.
When they charged, their impact had the perfect effect, crashing into the chest or head of those Skeleton Soldiers. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
No matter which part was hit, the result was always the same: disintegration on the spot, bones flying everywhere, as the massive skeletal hooves of the minotaurs trampled the scattered bones mercilessly, crushing them into several pieces, with many soul fires being brutally extinguished.
The large Bone Axe or Bone Hammer in their hands hummed as they swung them, with every strike inevitably sending no fewer than one Skeleton Soldier flying.
Two hundred Super Skeleton Minotaurs were like two hundred light tanks, recklessly rampaging through the crowd, forcefully tearing open two hundred gaps.
No need for command, those Four-armed Slaughter Skeleton Soldiers naturally followed the openings, expanding the victory.
Occasionally, formidable entities emerged within the Skeleton Army, hindering the charge of the Super Skeleton Minotaurs, often resulting in a shadowy figure appearing directly behind the undead soldier, twisting and flowing along its body, quickly enveloping it, and slowly merging inside.
After being uncontrollably distorted for a period, the undead soldier swiftly turned its spear, directing its attack at its former allies, fighting alongside the Super Skeleton Minotaurs.
The Super Skeleton Minotaurs were already difficult to stop, and given the shifting balance, they easily broke through, continuing to rend the enemy’s formations.
Normally, control-type magic has no effect on the undead since they lack intelligence and cannot have their souls manipulated.
The Super Ghost’s specter occupation, however, does not enter through the soul, but through puppet-like control, temporarily seizing control of the soul fire.
Dealing with intelligent beings requires intense mental confrontation, which makes this occupation more troublesome.
For those mindless undead creatures, it’s a simple task.
Not to mention ordinary undead soldiers. Even low-level Undead Lords are overwhelmed by this powerful combination, unable to lift their heads.
At best, they’re forced to retreat significantly.
At worst, they’re sent back to the Soul Pool home.
Once the latter happens, it means they cannot return to battle anytime soon, as both the Soul Pool-recruited undead forces and the wild undead have already joined this crusading war.
The situation isn’t unique to the Second Legion.
The other two legions face similar one-sided scenarios whenever they engage, as hordes of undead are harvested, concluding the entire battle in less than an hour.
On the frontline battlefield, Gaven and his forces secure victory after victory.
Strategically, they continue to retreat.
First, they abandoned the two newly acquired Skeleton Soldier Soul Pools, as they protruded too far forward. Assigning forces there would make them easily isolated and encircled by the endless undead.
